bill clinton was very happy. clinton and hillary claim -- came to fayetteville, they had just graduated from your law school. they were just a young couple like so many others. they didn't really have any furniture. getting started in life. their life had lots of political activity and friends. they were traveling back and forth to little rock and doing other things. lot inre traveling a those years. they didn't have a lot of money, but spent a lot of time holding networks and friendships. participate in public service began for both hillary and bill alertly -- ear ly. hillary's graduation address at national made quite a splash. it was fairly radical for her time. she went on to yell law school and that is where she met bill. law school and that is where she met bill. bill clinton met president kennedy in 1963, a few months before he was assassinated. was involved in lots of democratic initiatives all across the country, worked hard for george mcgovern, in arkansas, for j fulbright. he knew this was going to be

that set up a battle not just between bill clinton and ken starr, between bill clinton and the forces of the mainstream media. >> did the president mean to say to the american people that he had no sexual intercourse? >> i think the president was very straightforward in his comment, and i'm not going to dignify the question. he didn't leave any ambiguity whatsoever. abel? >> like, he meant no sexual encounter whatsoever? >> he said, "i did not have any sexual relations with that woman." he couldn't have been clearer. >> it seemed that all of washington was at a standstill. >> it was a very bizarre mood in the house of representatives. on the republican side, speaker gingrich correctly told republicans, "don't gloat. don't try to make an issue of this." among my democratic colleagues, there were a lot of people that were just apoplectic about this. >> i mean, i was massively disappointed and angry, because you put a lot of risk when you do something like that. it's not like, you know, you're running a hot dog stand here. you're running the country. >> one thing was for certain. this co

the former law partner of hillary clinton had followed bill clinton to washington as associate attorney general and self-described golf buddy. but he was forced to resign after it became clear he had defrauded his former law firm. >> bob fiske and his team started looking at the rose law firm, and they found that webster hubbell was manipulating bills. >> clients were paying for expenses that had never occurred. >> now hubbell was forced to admit to stealing nearly $400,000 from his law partners and more than a dozen clients, including the federal government. >> judge hubbell has pled guilty to two felony counts. >> ken starr had gotten his first conviction. but he had his sights set on a bigger fish. >> as part of mr. hubbell's guilty plea, he was required to provide any information he had relating to any criminal or other activity that included the president and mrs. clinton. >> we had been quite willing to postpone the sentencing so that we would have the opportunity to work with judge hubbell. >> the first rule of committing crime in america is -- always commit crimes with people mo

we see it with bill clinton, republicans in the '90s used bill clinton's indiscretions to run for office. >> did they ever run a candidate, though? i wonder, is this an important step as politics changes, this is a way to keep this person in the news, she has a story to tell, other women have leaks, that their story was paid to keep quiet. what do you think of this new twist of actually putting someone forward as the candidate herself? >> it's important because one of the things that it shows is that people aren't just talking. they're not just actually speaking out. but they're actually turning those protests into politics. so they're doing what the democratic system says that we should do, right? so if you have a problem, you go out and you run for office. it also is important for thinking about one of the things that this woman has pointed out is that this is in a county that has supported trump in the past, but that is also pretty unhappy with his presidency. so she's tapping into that. and it's an important way of kind of manifesting, and at least channeling the frustration that man

bill clinton had a 65% approval rating. that is the highest approval rating in the history of approval. you find yourself in a small minority. with all due respect, i am glad you are in a minority because most people do not use terms like that for an incumbent president with a 65% approval rating. caller: i just want to question the validity on the basis of your research. you are going strictly based off of holes leading up to and up -- based off of polls. if you are wearing a trump shirt out on the street, you would get beat up. host: that says a lot. thank you for reminding everyone. caller: can i finish my thought? i cannot say i was going to vote for trump. i was afraid of what people would say or think. your narrative and the people that you guys paid to go beat up protesters made it so that people would not tell the truth. entire basis of your study or book is false. host: i do appreciate the fact that you reminded people that trump supporters would beat up somebody wearing a t-shirt under the first amendment. that is

clinton is bill clinton complied with the subpoena. we don't know what mr. trump would do. if he challenges the legality of it, it could be traumatic for the country. >> bob woodward saying he sees what happens with trump as eerily similar to what happened with nixon right before the saturday night massacre, 1973 president richard nixon fired the special prosecutor and then the attorney general and deputy attorney general resigned. i spoke with carl yesterday. we got his take on how he sees the parallels of the presidentes given the investigation of each of them. watch. >> we have no reason to believe almost anything that donald trump says. what is so extraordinary about him and his presidency is the incessant compulsive continual lying. this is not me sitting here as a commentator, saying this is demonstratable, the number of lies, consistency of lying by the president of the united states is extraordinary. we've never add president who lies like this. certainly in the modern era. even nixon. >> you heard the former director of nixon

and obstruction was one of the articles of impeachment against bill clinton. - bill clinton, right. - so whether or not it might be obstruction in a court of law, congress has clearly indicated already that they consider obstruction to be an impeachable act. - is the trump situation more about politics than the law in the end? in other words, even if he's not technically guilty of something, that what happens over the course of this investigation becomes a problem for him as he heads into a re-election campaign. - yeah, i mean, there's always a problem with any investigation of any president, is politics and law mixed together. - [evan] right. - and that's certainly the case in this regard. and this is one of the reasons why you see him pushing back so hard. because in fact he thinks this whole investigation is bogus. he's said that, he thinks it's fake news, a witch hunt. because it because in fact he thinks this wholseems it challengesbogus. his very legitimacy as president. if you believe that russia interfered in the election and that there was collusion, therefore you are saying

. >> the fate of bill clinton was now in the hands of congress. the blueprint of american democracy was about to be tested. >> i think maybe it was about that time when i realized, "yeah, this is probably going to go to an impeachment proceeding." >> it was almost unanimous, this feeling that the public should have a right to see this. >> without conducting any formal review, in a bipartisan vote of 363 to 63, the house of representatives decided to publish the full report on the internet. >> if i'd been a duly elected member of congress, i'd have said, "i've got some reservations about that." >> it was only supposed to go to a select group of people in congress. and it was supposed to be in a room where people could read it but they couldn't take it out. ♪ >> we had no inkling that there was going to be as much graphicness, and had we reviewed the report in advance, we would have seen judge starr's referral that said, "you might want to take a look at this before you toss it out there in public." >> the 455-page report reads more like something

bush and bill clinton? and bill clinton and george w. bush and george w. bush and barack obama and barack obama and donald trump? [laughter] it's just, these are different -- it's like mary poppins with the cartoon up here and the reality down here, you know? it's just two different worlds. and somehow or another we do this. so, no, i don't think it's fair to point -- in the same way i don't think it's fair to say trump is the sole reason for the lack of civility. i think that, again, we're all in this. and if it didn't work, they wouldn't do it. if we penalized them for this, if the bases were not where they are, then it would be different. now, if you're in the democratic base i suspect, you know, you have secret meetings now -- or maybe they're not so secret.

bill clinton. however, i would ask you, the me too movement. ask them to look at miss juan neat too brad brick and the other women that bill clinton abused and wonder if you want come up with the same language for him and the -- >> ryan, let him answer. >> guest: number onor, are reading too much garbage on the internet when you sea 10% to 13% go to the national association that audits charitable organizations. the clinton foundation is rate at one of the highest ratings for the use of money over 90% of the money contributed to the clinton foundation goes to charity. so your 11% to 13% comes flow garbage on the internet that it is not your felt. repeat stowed sewn maple time outside believe it. it's false. secondly i respectfully suggest that you at least take a look at the chapter of my book. there are lot of mistake is said that hillary clinton wishes she could have done over but if you're right, october 28th in the morning, she was ready to win and she would have won, according to all the data, not just the head-to-head, trump versus clinton

when four years later the clinton administration came in, all i can say is bill clinton picked up exactly where bush 41 was. it was an extraordinary transition. well before inauguration, a number of people, including a couple you have heard from, and are going to hear from during the rest of the conference were calling their counterparts who were coming in under the new administration. there was, of course, another ironic dimension of the bush 41 to clinton administrations. that was, bill clinton knew it was because of the masterly way in which president bush had handled the end of the cold war and the sensitivity he brought to that made the cold war end in a reasonably peaceful way. i remember president clinton, before he was president clinton, when he was a president-elect, saying i will not do the southern accent -- bush is really something. he has acted like a very skillful, very prudent, very calm, ground control for mikael gorbachev as he tried to bring this rickety thing down for a soft landing on the ash heap of history. he also knew that, had the cold war continued, let's put it

tois what led bill clinton call obamacare one of the craziest things in the world. about the only time i agreed with the clinton, other than about hillary. [applause] i am going to get in trouble for that one. >> you just might. [applause] >> repealing the individual mandate provides real tax relief for the 6.5 million people being find by the irs. i am committed to continuing to roll up my sleeves and working to get 50 republicans together on the same page and honor our promise and repeal the disaster that is obamacare. [applause] did -- bill clinton clinton did want to go to wisconsin and she did not listen to him them. -- to him then. when it comes to looking at the state of the conservative movement after the first year of this president, one of the things i am curious about from your perspective is how much conservatism is healthy versus sick. the hit that i heard from a lot of people, many of who might be here today, up against president trump, before he became president was that he was going to reduce conservatism to the smallest portion. he will not the gove

bush and bill clinton. the university of virginia's miller center convenes scholars for a conference looking at the complicated history between u.s. and russian leaders over the last century. this portion is just over an hour. >>> as with the end of the cold war, events are rushing forward with breathtaking speed. and just when you think you're beginning to digest what happened in 1992, wait, there's a new administration in office and strobe talbot is going to explain it us to. strobe? >> let me start with a couple of ironies. i do remember as a reporter, when the bush 41 administration came in, it was a little scratchy with the reagan administration going out and i do recall talk of pause, the secretary of state, jim baker, wanting to make sure that he wasn't a captured by the building and that kind of thing. when four years later, the clinton administration came in, all i can say is that bill clinton picked up exactly where bush 41 was. it was an extraordinary transition well before inauguration. a number

i mean you know bill clinton was impeached as well but he wasn't convicted i think when it comes to it a lot of legislators both on the republican and democratic side may actually hold back from going through particularly with a conviction not so much the impeachment now it's been done against bill clinton so there's a precedent so they were on dail and some progress in syria shows russia and the united states can sit down and tackle global problems successfully if they need arises is this how it's going to be for the foreseeable future sanctions and hostility mixed with pragmatic operation. you know that is certainly. i mean it's a step maybe in the right direction where you can get more cooperation on different issues. you know hopefully at some point that cooperation improves there are a lot of east shoes like arms control where we need to be talking with one another so yes i mean fully it doesn't stay there and minimal cooperation but moves up so more more cooperation the u.s. and russia managed to deal with it on issue together and now we have another nuclear crisis with north kor

i disagree in that i do not think the north korea can't bill clinton in 1994. i think they have a diplomatic framework that could work. we lost that during the bush administration. was the time north korea began to finally test weapons. we have to get back that blueprint. it will not be a perfect diplomatic outcome but we need a figure out how to avoid catastrophic war on the korean peninsula on the one hand or north korea having the capability as you just said to be able to effectively target american cities with nuclear weapons. the third path will require diplomacy and the diplomatic totallynot of us are but that is what i hope the trump administration is working on. host: your home state, we will take you to minnesota, independent, go ahead. but that is what i hope the trump administration is working on. host:caller: good morning c-spad america. i was born in many net -- in minneapolis. i am calling on a couple fronts. one is, jake, i have seen you all over the place. if you know anything about being a statesman, you would understand you do not go around al

and he visited there in '59 when bill clinton first saw him age 1. clin as governor invites part of a group invites him back to -- little rock to approach a week long crusade so almost 29 years ago and in his conversations with reporters -- before that crew are said almost out of nowhere says -- ed crusade is about -- largely based about drug use and there are lots of themes to crusade but out of nowhere he says homosexuals will be welcome to pray as much as everyone else is but he make this is comment. that was his policy going certainly from that point on i can't really explain where it starts request him. but it did stick out in our research as something he had said relatively -- i would say as 1989. >> now you've been with "time" magazine 22 year -- >> sure. jed founder cofounder of "time" henry lewis you talk quite a bit in the book about his relationship with billy graham. "time" magazine for the billy graham generation -- was authoritative as influential a voice as could be had anywhere in america how important has a "time" anointment been in

the fact that scumbag bill clinton met with loretta lynch in the tarmac for its jim comey to do what he had to do. >> radley, thank you. >> first come you've got your facts wrong. you're entitled to your opinions but natural facts are at the lynch recuse yourselves and she had the full authority to order james comey not to send his letter. she sent her opinions through staff people that it would be a violation of the 50 or more year policy. he nevervi picked up the phone d ordered him. so get your facts straight. it had nothing to do with a red orange. sally was the deputy. secondly, you are certainly an individual that uses ajit has come a pretty harsh adjectives. i won't even repeat the words used about mr. clayton. i don't know if you look yourself in the mirror whether that's a fair thing to do on national television, but let me describe to you what a minority you are in as an opinion. when bill clinton was done with everything he went through in the white house on the last day in office, he has a 65% approval rating, whichch is to say the highest approval rating in the history o

it all depends on what your definition of is is right bill clinton and they get away with it because america loves it america low's the. you know that's what got us to the moon i'm sure if we wind up back up to the moon we'd find that all that equipment up there was maybe somebody other than they said it was going to maybe they weren't drinking and it was just all of a way to give over on some date somewhere on planet earth it's all about get know is hugh hefner ism written large or go to the moon to be you and you know shades of hucksterism everybody's a huckster in this a sort of a commie certainly in a consumer capital society and crony capitalist society you've got to be a c.e.o. he's got to be selling and you've got to sell somebody and then you have to flip your house to some chunk faster than they could understand that anyone understand why people don't like joe i mean they've still fighting americans like don't they realize that they that's who they are they think americans think of they are barack obama they think they're in. oh oh marvin gaye you know out there smooth is st

announcer: bill and hillary clinton purchased this modest fayetteville home. join us inside as we take a look at the house and learn about their early years as a married couple. >> the clintons bought this house in 1975 and did a little remodeling, but the most part it is entirely original. the house became a national historic register property in 2010, and the street came clinton avenue in 2010 as well. room, thee living famous room where bill clinton and hillary rodham were married in front of this big window october 11, 1975. bill bought this house while hillary was out of town and surprised her with it. she came back from visiting friends and family for six weeks and he said, i bought that house you thought was pretty, i know you have to marry me. i can't live there alone. and she said yes on the third try. that was the third try he did that. the house is originally a 1931, so the floors, windows, all of is a things -- while it big room for a living room, it is a small place to get married. the clintons had only 10 guests here for their wedding. the two of

trump said he felt bill clinton was a victim. it wasn't until the campaign season that he said he believed bill clinton's accusers. >> donald trump is willing to believe any harebrained conspiracy theory on the planet. he was willing to believe president obama was not born in the united states. but when presented with photographic evidence when presented with a line of female accusers he will never admit that abuse has taken place. that's for an obvious reason. you don't have to have a psychology degree to understand if he gives them credence then why shouldn't we give credence to his accusers. so in his mind as long as the man denies it, it's all good. soo if the men denies it, it's like the women didn't exist in his past. and this is the price that americans pay for electing someone whose character is so terrible, who mistreats people so badly. and the fact -- i'll come back to his again because they have been his most loyal supporters, the evangelicals have to answer now. >> the majority of white women voted for donald trump i

can you imagine, and in fact, it happened with bill clinton, but can you imagine if this happened to a democrat, democratic president. the evangelicals, the family values, you know, the republicans who are focused on, oh, my god, you know, that's so immoral. they would be there with pitchforks. >> yeah, they were. jennifer flowers, paula jones. they were there with pitchforks. >> all right. so where are the voices for president trump right now? where are the republicans who are saying, that's not appropriate behavior for a president of the united states? so the hypocrisy switch s places, because, where were the democrats criticizing president clinton? >> there were plenty of democrats that criticized president clinton. there were plenty of them out there. >> literally on the lawn of the white house there was a rally. >> it is interesting, the extent to which evangelical voters and evangelical leaders, you know, in terms of one of them, have given him a mulligan on this stuff. >> exactly. >> and you hear time and time again, he's not our moral leader, we're not electing him to be the

of hillary clinton, whether it was her husband bill or the clinton foundation and now, we find out that the russians were giving money to a pr firm which in turn was giving money to the clinton foundation and that looks to me like money laundering. >> yeah, again, there's a story every daybreaking about what the clintons were involved with. it's why we need to look at all these issues. we actually talked with a whistleblower a couple days ago and heard some of this from him directly, so we'll see how this all shakes out but it's just one more issue that i think warrants the naming of a second special counsel to look into everything that we have learned again as i said in the last several months. david: are you now working with senators in particular lindsay graham and senator grassley who put together this criminal referral that mentions that sid blumenthal, of all people who worked for the clintons for years for decades that he might have been putting stuff into the trump dossier? >> well the story just a couple days ago it was a foreign source giving information to a clinton friend wh

bill clinton. i never met a democratic president until i left office and bill clinton was inaugurated. well, billy graham, when i was president performed another service of a combined secular and religious way. he was the first evangelist of any stature that penetrated the iron curtain. he went to hungary and 1977 and he preached to the cia told me hundreds of thousands of people who came forward to hear his message. the bulgarian government said maybe 1000 showed up and later he did another thing that was profoundly significant. he met with pope john paul ii and both of these things were criticized by many christians. as going to the communists and going to the x but that was a better thing that billy graham did. in 1994, i decided to go to north korea and it was very difficult to obtain any accurate or responsible information from the cia or the state department. so i had a conversation with ruth and billy who had just before that on to visit themselves. ruth received her high school education in

she took on democratic icon bill clinton. in her washington office, she told us why she now believes clinton should have resigned amid the monica lewinsky scandal. your critics will say, "what's going on here? you know, she took senator clinton's seat. she campaigned with bill clinton and hillary clinton. and now, all of a sudden, she's saying he should have resigned." why now? >> gillibrand: because i wasn't focused on it in the way i am today. i didn't have that lens. i-- >> alfonsi: what do you mean, had that lens? >> gillibrand: all of us. i-- i think i'm not alone here. like, how many of us were having this conversation even a year ago? >> alfonsi: we're learning. >> gillibrand: i think we're all learning. >> alfonsi: have you spoken to the clintons since you >> gillibrand: well, i don't want to talk about that, but, i can tell you one thing. i can tell you that hillary clinton is still my greatest role model in politics. >> alfonsi: gillibrand also called out president donald trump for a long history of alleged sexual m

this former president bill clinton in the center there. he is joined by franklin graham, the son of the late reverend billy graham. and the president has gone by in charlotte to pay his respects, and the process has been opened to the last day or so. when you see a former president, to the picture, this is something we wanted to show you. the scene we will change tomorrow as we know praises of the take from earlier to let you know. that was alive look as you are talking with franklin graham. and now just moments ago we will toggle back to the live picture walking out of that home in charlotte, north carolina, want to remind you that billy graham canceled 12 presidents, met with 12 presidents. can you imagine your lifetime spanning that kind of leadership and having that kind of influence where people in their times of need and also just questions about what to buy do next as we know from reports that presidents would call on the reverend billy graham and he would be there with his counsel and with his prayers. imagine a lifetime of legacy

is it bill clinton? >> the hour and 20 minute speech, the third longest state of the union ever, m behind two bill clinton speeches.ge >> oh. >> tucker: he has spots one and two? >> one and two, yeah. >> tucker: wow, that's clintonian. i'm not surprised, actually. >> obama, i felt like. >> tucker: i know. i know. he was a wordy character but no one beats clinton in that category. one democratic congresswoman is so offended by president trump, she says a parental advisory ought to be aired before his speeches. who is this congresswoman? >> maxine waters. >> maxine waters of los angeles. >> yes. >> tucker: is it maxine waters? >> this president, with his vulgarity and his disrespect for women and people of color, is a terrible role model for our children. whenever he appears on tv, there should be a disclaimer that says "this may not be acceptable for children." >> yes. that's not extreme. >> tucker: no. >> totally sane. >> tucker: are we two to two? >> we are. >> tucker: we are. judges confirmed that. two

now you have someone back at it with the bill clinton question. will they want him to campaign for them again? do you think this will be a year that we don't see him out on the trail? >> i don't think he'll be out as much as he was in the past. i think the real question is, anybody who had him campaign four years ago or two years ago out on the trail, why was he okay then? all this stuff that's come out -- nothing new has come out about bill clinton. everyone knows what the accusations were. people knew that. i guess it's the time period now that makes him toxic. all these allegations were there. i think anybody who brought him on the trail before in this moment of me too should be asked why didn't those raise red flags in the past. >> dana: there's one other thing i wanted to bring up to you. senator corey booker joined gillebrand saying i heard from constituents today asking about corporate pack contributions. i'm joining several colleagues and no longer accepting them. our campaign finance system is broken. it's time to pass campaign finance re

likely to come to his defense and even slammed the women coming forward against bill clinton. but as the campaign got underway and the relations with bill clinton started to dissolve, you saw him taking a different sort of approach to the situation. he was starting to point out the allegations against him, which you know, for the most part he's come to the aid of those who are being accused rather than the victims. and it seems that when he does come to the aid of the victims or as he did with senator al franken, it's for reasons that benefit him. so al franken is a democratic senator who had been very critical of the president and you see that when the allegations started coming out there was a tweet about him -- the photo of him grabbing a breast or appearing to grope he said where do the hands go next in a tweet? that kind of sparked some backlash from those who say look, you have allegations that are over a dozen women have come out against you. >> yeah, true. i want to have you listen to what rnc spokesperson told me yesterday. take a listen, ladies. >> i look at the acti
